For battery replacement – return your watch to your nearest Wallace Bishop Store.
Quartz watches require regular maintenance and your time piece should be serviced when fitting
each third battery or every 3 years.
Attention to the following:
• Should water or condensation appear in the watch, immediately have it serviced as water can
corrode components.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extremely high or low temperatures.
• Avoid exposing the watch to above normal electro-magnetic fields.
• Although your watch is designed to withstand shocks under normal conditions it is inadvisable
to subject it to hard knocks, rough use or drops on to hard surfaces.
• Avoid fastening the bracelet too tightly. You should be able to insert your finger inside the band
(making sure the wrist is at normal temperature and not overheated).
• Avoid exposing the watch to strong chemicals such as gasoline, cleaning solvent, aerosol
sprays, adhesive agents, paint, battery acid, etc., whose chemical reaction would damage the
seals, case, glass or band.
• If your electronic watch stops, have it attended to immediately as the expended battery
may leak.
General Watch Care:
• Have your watch electronically tested at regular intervals. The small amount of oil currently
applied to a watch cannot last indefinitely, and although a watch will run on after the oil has
been used up, excessive wear will take place.
• To apply fresh oil over old is not effective. Congested oil and dust must be removed, and to do
so it is necessary to take a watch completely to pieces, clean and examine every part and re-oil
correctly. Only an expert watchmaker can do this.
• A watch is a fine piece of machinery and should only be handled by an expert working with
modern equipment.
More watches are ruined by neglect of periodical cleaning and oiling than by any other means.
